| Protect Your Residence During Crime Prevention Month! | 23 Oct 2019 | 00:10:19 | |
Protect Your Residence During National Crime Prevention Month October is National Crime Prevention Month. Celebrated since 1984, after a Presidential proclamation, it’s a perfect time to assess risk and take action to enhance your safety and the safety of your family members. But where should you start? I suggest beginning with your home. Get a Crime Prevention Inspection From Police Whether you live in a house or apartment, contact your local police department on their non-emergency phone number and ask if they have a crime prevention unit. Most police agencies have specially trained crime prevention specialists who will come to your residence, conduct a security inspection, and offer recommendations to increase safety. Protecting Your House Here are some suggestions if you live in a house: Walk around your home and look for thick shrubbery near doors and windows where a criminal could hide. Cut shrubbery down and back as much as possible. The idea is to create open sight lines from your driveway and street so anyone near the house can be easily seen. Test your outside lights and replace any burned out bulbs. Are lights bright enough to illuminate doors and other potential areas of risk properly? If more light is needed, install brighter bulbs or add additional outside lighting. Ideally, all sides of your home should be illuminated. Keep lights on from dusk to dawn. If you have a ladder in your yard, bring it in. An easily accessible ladder is an invitation for a criminal to break-in through a second story window. If you have a patio door, secure it using what’s called a charley bar (available at virtually any hardware store) or by placing a wooden dowel in the sliding door track. You can also purchase a pair of locally activated door or window alarms for less than $25. Ensure you have and use a peephole or an outside camera for your entrance door. Have and use a security chain or take other precautions before opening the door to anyone you don’t know. Have a phone in hand when answering the door in case you need to call for help. Consider installing a home alarm. Many modern alarm systems are modular and wireless. Professional monitoring is available costing roughly $15 to $25 per month, but if that’s not affordable you can have an alarm sound locally if a break-in is detected. Many modern systems can be set to notify you through a smartphone app allowing video and audio connection. Keep doors and windows locked whether you are home or out. Protecting Your Apartment If you live in an apartment with a first floor outside entrance, all of the suggestions about securing a house will apply. If you live in a building with an interior entrance door, ensure the hallway leading to your door is well lit. Have and use a door peephole or video camera to monitor the area near your door. Use a security chain or take other appropriate precautions before opening the door to someone you don't know, even if your building requires an access card or code to enter the main lobby. Consider installing a modern modular wireless alarm if your budget allows.

| How to Avoid Danger When Walking on Campus | 27 Aug 2019 | 00:09:16 | |
Safe Living Today Episode 30 Show Notes Episode Title: How to Avoid Danger When Walking on Campus It’s that time of year. Students arrive on campuses ready to dive into new academic and living adventures. It’s also a time to remind ourselves how important it is to stay safe on and off campus. Whether you’re living in a college residence or you're a commuter, walking long distances to class locations and social happenings is a fact of life for most students. As fall turns into winter, more and more of those footsteps happen during the night. Here is a simple, easy to remember way to help you or loved ones stay safe when walking on or near campus. The SAFE Walking Method Think of the word, SAFE. Each letter in SAFE represents an aspect of the SAFE Walking Method. S - Scan the environment: Keep your attention on your surroundings and NOT on your cellphone. Have your cellphone turned on and easily accessible, but avoid looking at the phone’s screen. Avoid also listening to music or other audio that draws attention away from awareness of your surroundings. Nothing is more important than staying present as you notice the people, topography, and area activity as you’re walking. A - Avoid danger zones: Avoid dark, poorly lit areas during evening and nighttime hours. Avoid shortcuts taking you in back of buildings, near wooded or overgrown areas, or away from main roads and walkways. If you’re in a parking lot, avoid walking between parked cars. Walk in the travel lanes if designated walkways aren’t available, being careful to watch for moving cars from the front, back, and sides. Pay attention to cars pulling out of parking spots. Drivers may not see you, so be attentive and stay safe. F - Friends: Get a little help from your friends! If possible, walk in a group. If there are others walking in the area try to stay close to people walking in the same direction. E - Erect and Confident: Stand tall with head up as you walk erect and briskly in a confident posture. Criminals are drawn to people who appear timid, inattentive, or fearful. Know how to activate 911 or other emergency number on your cellphone. Have keys, access cards, and your cellphone easily accessible. You don’t want to fumble through your purse or book bag looking for these items as you approach your destination. Other Safety Actions There are other actions that can help keep you safe. These include wearing a personal loud, shrill alarm easily activated if you sense danger, having a loud police type whistle, and having pepper spray easily available. While these personal security products may be helpful in a threatening situation, it’s vital to practice using them before they’re needed in an emergency. This is particularly true for pepper spray. One More Vital Item: Trust Your Gut One really, really important additional item: Trust your gut. If you sense a threat, act on that internal “something’s not right” signal! These SAFE walking actions suggested in this post require only your awareness and attention. If you feel threatened, act immediately by calling for help or taking other steps to eliminate the threat and ensure your safety. Recapping Your SAFE Walking Actions To recap, your SAFE walking actions are: * Scan the environment. * Avoid danger zones. * Friends and Others Walking: Walk with friends and other people in a group if possible. * Erect and Confident: Assume an erect and confident posture as you walk briskly to your destination. Practicing SAFE walking on campus and in other locations will help you reduce risk and enhance personal safety.

| 7 Ways to Stay Safe for National Safety Month | 18 Jun 2019 | 00:06:27 | |
7 Ways to Stay Safe for National Safety Month June is National Safety Month! In this episode, I’ll share seven simple, easy ways to enhance your safety and the safety of your loved ones. With June being National Safety Month, I’m recording this episode for two of my podcasts. Those are, “Safe Living Today” and “Weird and Whacky Holidays”. Of course, Living Safely is neither weird nor whacky. As a former Chief of Police, Security Director and leader of the Life Safety and Business Recovery group for one of the largest Financial Services Companies in the world, keeping people safe is one of my passions. A mindset of safety is a wonderful way to enhance your physical and emotional wellbeing. It also can save you money and help you avoid accidents that bring on pain and suffering. Here are my seven safety suggestions: 1. June 1 is the beginning of the hurricane season in the Northern hemisphere. Now is a great time to stock up on non-perishable food and water so you can ride out an extended power outage. Plan on at least one to two gallons of bottled water per person per day. If you’re using well water, you’ll need additional water for the toilet I suggest having enough food and water to sustain you and your family for at least a week and preferably longer. There is a “Use by” date on water containers, so check and make sure the water is fresh. Act now to stockpile adequate food, water, a working battery or hand cranked radio, fresh batteries, and at least two working flashlights. If you have pets, ensure you have adequate food for them as well. For a more expansive guide on stocking supplies and preparing for disasters, I’ll have a link to an earlier “Safe Living Today” episode entitled, “Hurricane Irma - Prepare and Stay Safe” plus the link to an excellent guide prepared by the Red Cross and FEMA linked in the show notes. YouTube version of podcast: https://youtu.be/jePlA_S5Xl8. Red Cross - FEMA Guide: https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf. 2. Have a family meeting and go over fire safety procedures and escape routes. Remind everyone of the “drop and roll” method to snuff out clothes fires. Have a working fire extinguisher, working smoke detectors, and Carbon Monoxide detectors. If you’re using battery operated detectors, change the batteries. Even better, upgrade to the new long life detectors. 3. Have a well stocked First Aid kit in your home and car. Ensure everyone in the family knows basic First Aid and CPR. 4. Create a safety kit for your car. Flashlights, fresh batteries, a working battery or crank radio, blankets, water, and non-perishable snacks should all be part of your kit. Have cellphone charging cords in the car. If you have people with Android and iPhones, you need at least one correct cord for each type of cellphone. 5. Ensure there is a working car jack, tire wrench, and spare tire in the car. Ensure all drivers know how to change a flat tire. Keep jumper cables in the car and ensure drivers know how to use them. I highly recommend having a portable battery charger capable of jumpstarting your car. You’ll find them on Amazon and other online retailers and they’re available at most auto parts stores as well. Remember to charge them every two to three months and then put them back in the car. 6. Have a “Go Bag” ready that contains medications, copies important documents, and anything else you want to keep safe. Make sure you have copies of insurance policies, medical information, insurance ID cards, medical directives, drivers licenses, and Social Security cards. 7. Look around your home or workspace and identify and eliminate any electrical, tripping, or other safety hazards. To summarize, Stock up on water and non-perishable food. Review fire safety procedures and ensure your detectors and fire extinguishers are working properly. Ensure you have a well stocked First Aid kit in your home and car and everyone knows First Aid and CPR. Have a safety kit in your car. Ensure you have jumper cables, a spare tire, a wrench, and a jack in the car. Ensure drivers know what to do in an emergency. Have a “Go Bag” ready with medications, prescriptions, and copies of all important documents. Identify and fix all safety hazards in your home. With June being National Safety Month, this is the time to take action and safeguard yourself and your family.

Reported losses for 2015 totaled less than $1.1 billion; this means reported losses have nearly tripled in three short years. - IC3 received 351,936 complaints in 2018—an average of more than 900 every day. - The age group most at risk were those over 50 years of age. - The most frequently reported complaints were for non-payment/non-delivery scams, extortion, and personal data breaches. Scams included email compromises, romance / confidence frauds, and investment / pyramid / Ponzi schemes. - Bright spots reported by the IC3 include the establishment in February 2018 of the Recovery Asset Team and its success in recovering funds lost in business email compromise scams. The team was able to successfully recover more than $192 million in funds—a recovery rate of 75 percent. - According to Donna Gregory, the IC3 Chief, “The 2018 report shows how prevalent these crimes are. It also shows that the financial toll is substantial and a victim can be anyone who uses a connected device.” - To increase recovery chances, it is imperative victims contact their bank and IC3 immediately. - The IC3 website provides a list of scams along with avoidance tips. Visit: https:/www.ic3.govcrimeschemes.aspx - Preventive actions include keeping hardware and software updated and protected by anti-virus programs and strong passwords, learning to recognize suspicious messages, and researching and verifying the legitimacy of every offer, person, message, or opportunity presented online.

| How to Protect Your Kids From Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria at Petting Zoos | 23 Apr 2019 | 00:05:02 | |
Protect Your Kids at Petting Zoos From Drug Resistant Bacteria Show Notes: A new study finds petting zoos can be breeding grounds for drug resistant bacteria (MDR) including e coli. These bacteria can place anyone touching animals at risk, particularly young children. This study was done by researchers from Ariel University in Israel. They choose eight petting zoos at random, collecting fecal matter samples and swabs from fur, skin, and feathers from 228 animals representing 42 species. Of particular interest were two bacteria types, extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (AmpC-E). These bacteria are known to be highly resistant to antibiotics. About 12% of animals were colonized with at least one of the bacterial strains. Researchers discovered 35 bacterial species including two strains of e coli. E coli can cause serious The authors found that nearly 1 in 8 animals (12%) were found to be colonized with at least one of the two antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, with 35 different recovered species of bacteria. A quarter of animals that tested positive for drug-resistant bacteria had more than one bacterial strain, including two e. coli strains. E coli can cause serious diarrhea and other infections. According to researchers, children are at elevated risk of illness from these pathogens. One of the Researchers Speaks: Professor Shiri Navon-Venezia at Ariel University, one of the researchers, comments, “Our findings demonstrate that animals in petting zoos can result in shedding and transmission of MDR pathogens that may cause illness for human visitors, even when the animals appear healthy,” She continues (note: the professor was identified as "he" in the audio. My apology for the error), “We recognize the high educational and emotional value of petting zoos for children, therefore, we strongly recommend that petting zoo management teams implement a strict hygiene and infection control policy, together with rationalized antibiotic policy, in order to reduce the risk of transmission between animals and visitors.” Common Sense Precautions If you take your kids or grandkids to petting zoos, apply these common sense precautions: - No food or drink consumption by kids until after they have visited and touched all of the animals AND HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN COMPLETELY. - Don’t let them touch any objects that will be touched by other people during the time they’re interacting with petting zoo animals. - If there is any indication an animal is being treated with antibiotics, don’t let children touch or come near that animal. - As soon as possible, change children’s clothing. Place the clothing items directly in the washer and wash the clothes in hot water and dry with high heat. - Ensure YOU wash your hands and exposed skin after touching clothes worn by children at the petting zoo.

| Safe Parking Tips for Parking Lots and Garages | 21 Mar 2019 | 00:04:58 | |
Show Notes: "Safe Parking Tips for Parking Lots and Garages". "Safe Living Today Show", Ep 25. According to the most recent research from the *U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, there were more than 400,000 violent crimes in parking lots and garages on average each year for the four year study period. What can you do to help keep yourself safe when walking to and from your auto in parking lots and garages? Safe Parking Mindset and Actions  * When entering a parking lot or garage, scan the area carefully. Look for one or more people who seem to be loitering. If there is any concern, park somewhere else or leave. * If you park in a multilevel lot, make note (as in write it down) where you are exactly including the level, the parking space number if available, and location of the closest elevator or stairwell. If it can be done safely, walk up or down the ramps rather than use a stairwell or elevator. * If possible, when walking from or to your car carry your driver’s license, money, and credit cards in a pocket rather than in your purse. * Walk briskly and confidently. Studies show criminals will look for people who appear nervous or unsure of themselves as they walk. * Avoid conversations. Keep walking. * Whenever possible, walk with others. If security staff members are available, ask for an escort. * When walking, scan the environment. Have your phone on, easily available, and ready to call 911 (or other emergency number for your location). * Have your ignition remote unit or car keys in hand and ready. Many remote units have an emergency horn activator. Know how to activate that safety feature. * When approaching your car, look beneath the vehicle and then look in the back seat to ensure no one is hiding in either place. * Enter the car and immediately lock the doors. Start your engine and leave. DO NOT check your phone, fix your makeup, or do anything else that delays your departure. The Most Important Safety Measure The most important safety measure is to trust your intuition. Trust your gut. If something doesn’t seem quite right, get help or take other appropriate protective action immediately.
